Your prompts live on someone's server: two Requesty settings to lock down AI data
alex_verem · x · 2026-10-24
Every prompt you've sent — code, client contracts, that 2am medical question — sits on a server whose country and retention policy you don't control, all agreed via unread terms. Running models locally remains the best answer, but when you must use the cloud, the author recommends two Requesty settings: org-wide zero data retention (stops storing request/response content across all API keys while keeping usage stats like model, tokens, cost, latency) and region restriction (EU/US/APAC only — anything routed elsewhere gets rejected). Better a failed request than client data quietly routed to an unapproved region.
